Abstract

Considering that african-Americans have been soldiers in every war that the U.S. has ever fought, it should be no surprise that sociologists take great interest in the relationship between the U.S. military and the african-american Family (Billingsley 1992). Following Allen's theoretical model (1995) of the african-american family in U.S. society, it is clear that any analysis of the dynamic between family and military will necessarily consider the interplay between individual decision-making, economic circumstances of the community, and the socioeconomic opportunities afforded by larger institutions. This essay aims to reinforce the significance of these latter socioeconomic benefits for Black families in the military, while simultaneously refuting claims reminiscent of Moynihan's theory, which emphasizes the patriarchal appeal for black males participating in the armed services.
